In the past year, the situation in the Westeros had also changed drastically.
When Danny was still a guest in Queers, Robert the Usurper's best friend, Eide Stark, the Duke of Winterfell, followed in the footsteps of her father and brother, and was beheaded by "Mad King II" Joffrey in the most humiliating way possible.
Stark's family in the Northern Territory was undoubtedly the main character in "Game of Thrones", and their tragic fate was deeply sympathized by the audience. When Danny watched the show, she often thought of them as characters.
But from an objective point of view, their family's fate was not too unjust.
First, let's talk about Eide's death.
Rather than saying that Eide died at the hands of Joffrey because of Robert, it was more accurate to say that his wife and daughter worked together to kill him.
It was said that Eide Stark had a low EQ and no political brain, but he knew very well that he was not suitable for the King's Landing. When Robert personally came to the Northern Territory to ask him to be the Prime Minister, he was going to refuse.
"Robert is my best friend. If I refuse him, he will definitely fly into a rage and scold me. But in a few days, we will be good again."
At that time, after holding hands with his wife, Eide said this to her.
Eide and Robert grew up in the Arrin Valley. They were both adopted sons of Duke Arrin, and they had rebelled together. They were the best friends in the world of Song of Ice and Fire.
Eide's judgment was not wrong.
But his wife was the most orthodox of noblewomen, and she was very realistic when it came to matters.
When they were young, Caitlin Tully could face her childhood sweetheart Littlefinger's love with the most rational of emotions. Now that she was a mother of five, she could also handle King Robert's invitation with the most rational of attitudes.
She urged her husband to accept the king's appointment, with two reasons. First, in the past, they were good friends. Now that he was the king and she was his subject, the heavenly might was unpredictable. Second, the child had grown up, and it was time to talk about marriage. King's Landing was the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, a place where the nobles gathered.
Robb, the eldest son, was the heir, so he had to stay behind when his father was not around. Rickon, the third son, was only three years old and could not leave his mother. Caitlin herself would not go to King's Landing.
There were three children who planned to go with Eide to King's Landing: Sansa, Arya, and Bran.
Two of the daughters were looking for husbands (Caitlin and her husband did not like Theon and never wanted him to marry Sansa), and Bran, as the second son, did not have the right to inherit, so his future was bleak. It was not an unfounded fear. Eide's younger brother, Benjen, did not have the right to inherit and ended up as a Night Watchman at the Wall.
If he went to King's Landing, with the protection of his father and the king's uncle, Bran could at least become a full knight. If he was lucky, he might even become a Kingsguard.
There was no doubt that Caitlin Tully made the choice that a good wife and mother should make.
Unfortunately, she was too politically naive and ignored the fact that King's Landing was facing a storm, and her husband had no ability to avoid it.
Instigating her husband to go to King's Landing was barely enough to clear her name, but kidnapping Tyrion was too stupid.
Well, it was also because Littlefinger was too smart. He gave her the super Mary Sue mentality of "A man who loves me will not hurt me. Even if I get married, he will continue to be my bootlicker". It was easy to fool Caitlin, making her believe that the person who murdered Bran was Tyrion.
She could not help but sigh. Littlefinger was really a role model in the world of bootlickers. He had ruined the family of that adulterous couple back then …
Back to the topic, even though Tyrion was a dwarf and was not liked by her father, he was still a Lannister. When Caitlin kidnapped him, it meant that "Stark + Tully" had officially declared war on Lannister.
This put Eide and the queen's faction in King's Landing in a disadvantageous situation. Even though his best friend was the king, Lannister's power was too great. Robert had borrowed three million gold royals from Duke Tywin, and most of the court relied on Lannister.
After talking about how the wife cheated the husband, let's talk about how Sansa Stark cheated the father …
When Eide found out that Robert and the queen's three children were not the king's, he did not immediately expose the matter to Robert.
He had a righteous heart that was a little pedantic. He was worried that Robert would kill Cersei's three children like how Tywin killed Prince Rhaegar's children.
So he secretly found Cersei and told her, "I know what you've done. I haven't told my poor but cruel best friend yet. I'll give you three days to take the children away, and then our two families will fight it out on the battlefield!"
When Cersei found out that he knew, she killed Robert in advance.
Because in King's Landing, Eide's power came from the king.
Normally, after killing Robert, Cersei should have immediately taken down Eide's family, or at least controlled him.
But Cersei did not.
In the first stage of "Game of Thrones", the power struggle was "Eide vs Cersei". The two main characters were both noobs at power struggles. Compared to Tywin, Varys, Littlefinger, Prince Martell, and Highgarden Rose, these two were like chickens pecking at each other.
Cersei's court skills were maxed out, but her court skills were very advanced.
After all, Eide had experienced the "War of the Usurpers" that overthrew the Targaryen dynasty. He had some experience and a certain political sense.
When he saw his best friend die, the day after he gave Cersei his last notice, he immediately understood that he had killed his best friend.
In his grief and regret, he decided to use his life to protect his best friend's "Barat Theon Dynasty".
At that time, Eide already knew that he would die, but he did not want his two daughters to die with him.
So he held back and planned to secretly send his two daughters to a fast ship that he had prepared beforehand. When they left King's Landing, he would fight Lannister alone.
Not to mention, when the king was first killed, Eide did have the capital to fight for his life.
This was because Renly, Varys and the others wanted to support him. Even Littlefinger, who had secretly made him bleed, did not want him to fall immediately.
Those people did not support Eide's justice, but for the sake of political balance. If Eide fell, the next Hand of the King would definitely be Duke Tywin, who had maxed out his military, financial, political, and court skills.
Unfortunately, Eide righteously rejected the suggestions of those who supported him. The king's third brother, Duke Renly, could only run away. Varys did not dare to meet him again. Littlefinger decisively joined Cersei.
At this time, Eide was still bound to lose, but he had already resolved himself. His best friend had gone to hell. Why should he be afraid of death?
It had to be said that if Eide wanted to, he was very good at hiding secrets.
Just like how he hid Jon Snow's identity from everyone, including the cunning Varys and Littlefinger, he also hid his plan to secretly send his two daughters away from King's Landing.
Then, his eldest daughter Sansa came out to trick him. The night before she left, she secretly went to see Cersei and told her everything about her departure. In the beginning, Sansa was a typical infatuated noble girl. She liked handsome young men, and Joffrey was very handsome, so she couldn't bear to leave him …
Cersei suddenly woke up. The next day, she captured Eide and threw him into the dungeons.
Eide's men were all killed. The Tower of the Hand was bathed in blood. Only Sansa and her handmaiden, Jeyne, survived. Arya was left on the streets.
Eide was already prepared to die. He was not afraid of being thrown into the dungeons. But with his daughters in Cersei's hands, he had to give up his honor for the second time in his life.
For his daughters, he admitted to the people of King's Landing at St. Baelor's Cathedral that he had committed treason and that Joffrey was the rightful king.
According to his agreement with Cersei, when he surrendered, Joffrey would let him wear a black cloak and serve as a Night's Watch. But Joffrey was too crazy. He went back on his word and cut off Sansa's father's head in front of her.
Sansa had not only betrayed her father, but she also had to bear a large part of the responsibility for the House of Wolves' subsequent tragedies.
How many stupid things had Catelyn done to save her?
Alright, now that Eide's death, let's talk about other things.
After Eide was imprisoned, four kings rose to power.
Robb, King of the North, wanted to avenge his father. He owned the North and Riverdale, the wolves and trout.
King Robert's cheap son, Joffrey, owned the Lion King's Landing and the West.
Stannis, Duke of Dragonstone, owned Dragonstone and the nearby islands. He owned the King of Light's Red Heart and the stag.
Renly, Robert's third brother, Duke of Storm's End. He owned the Stormwind and River Bend. He owned the Golden Rose and the Crowned Stag.
Of the Seven Kingdoms, only Dorne and the Arryn Vale did not participate. But the Dornmartell family had a blood feud with Lannister. Rhaegar's wife, Elia, was a Dornish princess. She and her two children had died at the hands of Tywin.
The Arryn Vale was controlled by Catelyn's sister, Lysa. In theory, it belonged to Robb's side, but Lysa only listened to Littlefinger.
Of the four factions, Robb's was the strongest on paper. The "Wolf + Fish + Eagle (Valley) + Deer" network he had built during the War of the Usurpers was not completely broken. At least, that was how the naive Robb and Catelyn saw it.
But this turmoil was caused by Lysa's madness. Lysa killed her husband and told her sister that Lannister had killed him. The "Eagle" had already left the alliance.
Speaking of Lysa, Eide Stark's marriage was like this: I married my sister-in-law, my foster father married my sister-in-law, and I became in-laws with my most respected foster father. I was very happy, but my sister-in-law was my wife's bootlicker.
"Sanlu" Renly was happy to continue the alliance, but "Erlu" Stannis was a loner. No one could guess what he was thinking.
Erlu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to be king. I don't want to be the Child of Prophecy. Why do you have to force me?" He also secretly arranged for the red-robed priestess to use the "Ghost Child" to kill his own brother.
Well, as mentioned before, the Lord of Light Lahlo was two sides of the same coin. He was the God of Fire and a demon who could control shadows. His priests had the blood witchcraft to control shadows to kill people.
The red-robed priestess's shadow demon seemed to be even more abnormal than the Shikamaru family's shadow magic. When the shadow slit Renly's throat, he was equipped with a full set of armor. Even an axe could not cut through the armor, but the shadow tore through the armor like it was paper.
Sanlu died before he could succeed. He was the first to receive his lunch box.
His "Stag + Golden Rose" alliance was dissolved. The "Stag" belonged to Erlu, and the "Golden Rose" was in the wilderness.
After Erlu became the leader of the "Bucks", not only did he reject Robb's alliance, he also ordered the red-robed woman to use blood witchcraft to curse Robb to death. He wasn't sure if Robb's death was related to it, but Joffrey, Robb, and Baron, who were cursed by the red-robed woman, all died an unnatural death.
